So, as of today, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has lasted 1,336 days.
That’s:
85% of the duration of World War I,
61% of the duration of the entire World War II,
94% of the duration of the Soviet–Nazi war on the Eastern Front.
And still, the world's top nuclear power and one of the largest militaries ever -- has failed to defeat Ukraine or conquer it yet.
Since the Battle of Britain, never have the fates of so many depended so much on the heroism of so few -- the Ukrainian soldiers who, despite the unbearable weight and filth of this deranged world, keep doing the impossible every single day, with as little as what they have to fight with.
All hell is breaking loose in Kyiv! Two more high-rise buildings were damaged by shahid attacks – in the Pechersky and Desnyansky districts.
Explosions. New drones are approaching the capital!
And loser Rutte has flown to Trump again – to achieve what?
Just because some Ukrainians speak English, German, or French doesn’t mean we are British, German, or French.
It wasn’t our choice to learn that 💩russian language, it is called russification, we were forced…
“I stole a Mariupol child.”
Maria Lvova-Belova, a war criminal with an @IntlCrimCourt arrest warrant to her name once again confessed to the hideous crime of kidnapping and indoctrinating Ukrainian children.
russia kills Ukrainians, steals their kids, and erases their identity.
Almost 12 years of the russian war, 4 years of full-scale invasion. Endless footage of russian war crimes, many of which filmed and posted by the invaders themselves, bragging about their impunity and the world's impotence. Innocent people are being hunted and targeted every day.
russians in America are driving cars with pro-war registration plates. All over the world, russians behave appallingly and all visas should be cancelled.
So China, North Korean and Africa can all send troops to take part in Putin’s war in Ukraine.
However if NATO troops come to assist Ukraine then that’s unacceptable escalation?
I think not.
It’s time to stop this fucking war.
💔 Bakhmut…
17 schools — gone.
29 kindergartens — gone. Thousands of homes destroyed, thousands of lives lost.
A city that once sang in the world’s largest underground concert hall…is erased.
The world’s silence in the face of the kremlin’s destruction is deafening.
Do I look angry? I hope so, because I’ve been furious over the wealthy, powerful free world's cowardice and complacency since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. Western leaders still treat Ukrainian lives as less important than money, resulting in the waste of both.
While Ukraine is under attack
By missiles and drones
And explosions echo in our cities
Xi Jinping, together with the world’s dictators,
Is busy holding a parade in Beijing.
To me, this looks very telling:
Not just a celebration of tyranny,
But a deliberate humiliation of Trump
And the entire Western world.
Dictators march, democracies hesitate.
Again
Trumps team referred to Putin as “his excellency” on the official pamphlet schedule for Alaska. This summit took place while russia bombed civilian homes across Ukraine. What an absolute fucking disgrace
